*If anyone is about Cork I recommend popping in to Jim and Albert in Plugd Records. The new store is set to open very soon in Tobin Street as part of the new Triskel Arts Centre but you can check them out currently on Barrack Street in An Réalt Dearg, their temporary abode, on Fridays and Saturdays usually between 4pm and 8pm.

If located elsewhere I strongly recommend picking up at least one album when you can from your local independent store. Most independents now take orders by email and post out the stock if you are unable to get to the store so it may be worth checking out.
